FIRST
        SORROWFULL MYSTERY: Agony in
        the Garden.  
        At Gethsemane Jesus
        prays as He contemplates the sins of the world. Then
        cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
        and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and
        pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons
        of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
        Then saith he unto them: "My soul is exceeding
        sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with
        me". And he went a little farther, and fell on his
        face, and prayed, saying: "O my Father, if it be
        possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as
        I will, but as thou wilt". (Mat 26,36-39).
        And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his
        sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to
        the ground. (Luk 22,44)
